SMOKING DEVICE.

Application filed January This invention relates to a new and improved device, and preferably to an attachment to be readily inserted in the pipe.

An object of the invention is to provide a simple device which co-operates with the usual type of pipe for the purpose of presenting occasionally a new passage in the pipe body for the smoke so that the pipe will not so readily and quickly clog up with to bacco and liquid matter containing nicotine.

Another object concerns the provision of a simple and efiicient device which can be economically manufactured and can be readily inserted into and removed from the stem of a pipe at will.

The invention is illustrated in the drawings, of which- Figure l is a section through the pipe; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the stem; Fig. 3 is a perspective View of the new device to be inserted in the pipe; and

Fig. 4 is a cross section through the pipe showing the device inserted therein.

The form of the invention shown in the drawings is a preferred form, although it is understood that modifications in the construction and arrangement of the parts and in the character of the materials used may be adopted without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

This invention in its general aspect includes a pipe having a removable and rotatable stem. In the shaft of the pipe, adjacent the bowl, is a recess in which the new and improved device is inserted. This device includes a pair of plates of material, preferably of light metal, disposed at right ans gles to each other to form a plurality of channels extending from the bowl of the pipe to the end of the stem adjacent the shaft.

. The end of this device is connected to the stemso that as the stem is rotated the device is rotated to present a new, clean channel therein beneath the bowl of the pipe. After all the channels have thus-been turned in succession beneath the bowl, the device can be removed and cleaned.

The preferred form of the invention is shown in the drawings, in which 10 represents the bowl of the pipe, 11 the shaft of the pipe, and 12 the stem. 13 is the passage through the stem; 14 is a recess in the shaft, and 15 is an aperture in the bowl of the pipe leading to the recess 14. 16 is the chamber within the pipe bowl; 17 represents 22, 1925. Serial No. 4,110.

the device insertable within the recess 14; and 18 represents a shoulder on the end of the stem to project into the shaft 11. The shoulder 18 is provided with slots 19, preferably disposed at an angle to each other. 20 and 21 are rearwardly extending fingers on the end of the device, which lie in the slots 19, so that the rotation of the stem 12 will cause the rotation of the device within the recess 14;. 22 and 23 represent the plates of material, preferably light metal, disposed at right angles to each other to form channels which extend from the front of the pipe beneath the bowl 10, through the stem 12. It will be obvious that by rotating the stem, one or the other of the four channels formed by the plates 22 and 23 will be presented beneath the chamber 16 and the recess 15 so that a clean channel for the flow of the smoke through the pipe and the stem can be had.

It is perfectly obvious that this idea is equally applicable to cigarette and cigar holders, as well as pipes, without involving any modifications or alterations that would cause the application of the idea to depart from the spirit of the invention.

What I claim is 1. In combination with a pipe having a bowl and a recess in the pipe beneath the bowl, an element insertable within said recess and having a plurality of independent channels therein, each channel extending in a continuous manner from the bowl of the pipe to the stem, and means connecting the device with the stem so that the movement of the stem will move the device to present a new channel beneath the bowl.

2. In combination with a pipe having a bowl and a recess therebeneath, with a passage o-r aperture connecting the bowl with the recess, a device insertable in the recess comprising a plurality of plates disposed at an angle to each other to form a plurality of independent channels, each channel extending in a continuous manner from the bowl to the stem of the pipe, the stem of the pipe having a slotted shoulder thereon, and fingers on one end of the device to engage with the slots whereby the rotation of the stem will cause the rotation of the device to present a new channel beneath the bowl of the pipe.

3. In a smoking device, a body portion having a smoke passage therein and a closed end wall, the other end of the body portion being open, said body portion having an aperture adjacent the closed end thereof, of the body portion to selectively register an element insertable in said passage eleone or another of said channels With said ment having a plurality of channels therein, aperture to permit smoke to pass through 10 each channel extending in a continuous inanonly one of the channels in said element at ner from one end of the element to the other, a time.

said element capable of adjustment in relation to the aperture adjacent the closed end JOHN CARLTON CADY.
